I have loved these since I was a very little girl. We had family friends living in the Ozarks, on a little farm in the mountains, and gourds were hung everywhere, with birds flitting in and out feeding their young, and they were used as dippers at their well, and for many other uses. Wonderful project to do with children, as they will love painting them and hanging them in their own trees. Because of a little accident with both varieties jumping into each other, and co-mingling (lets say) we are (now) offering them as a combination. They are very similar and you will still love them.
